Shweta Konnur with Italian actor Romeo

Considering that the film is for adults only, Shweta Konnur just about manages to qualify as lead actor.

At 21, she gets to share bedroom space with Italian actor Romeo (no kidding, that is his real name) in the Bollywood thriller cu@9. "It is a very sensuous and bold film," says Konnur. "It took a few weeks to convince my parents that I wanted to be a part of it."

With 16 films in the south and Ram Gopal Varma's Darna Mana Hai under her belt, she was keen to do this film, made by ad/music video director Marlon Rodrigues, because "I want to shock my audiences".

Simple: she gets to drop her pants, you get to drop your jaw.
